Understanding Ovarian Cancer - Comprehensive Women's Cancer Care
Ovarian cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the ovaries, the reproductive organs that produce eggs and female hormones estrogen and progesterone. Epithelial ovarian cancer accounts for approximately 85% of cases, originating from cells covering the ovary’s surface. Other types include germ cell tumors and stromal tumors, each requiring specialized treatment approaches. Often called the “silent killer,” ovarian cancer frequently presents with subtle symptoms that may be mistaken for common digestive or bladder issues. Early symptoms include persistent bloating, pelvic pain, difficulty eating, urinary urgency, fatigue, and abdominal swelling. Risk factors encompass family history of ovarian or breast cancer, BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations, personal history of breast cancer, endometriosis, and advancing age. Most cases occur after menopause, though ovarian cancer can affect women of any age, emphasizing the importance of awareness and prompt medical evaluation.
Treatment Excellence Through Specialized Gynecologic Oncology
Zanish Cancer Hospital provides comprehensive ovarian cancer treatment following evidence-based protocols from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and Society of Gynecologic Oncology guidelines. Our multidisciplinary approach combines advanced surgical techniques, precision chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy options to optimize patient outcomes. Treatment plans are individualized based on cancer stage, histologic type, genetic testing results, and patient preferences.
Primary treatment typically involves cytoreductive surgery performed by fellowship-trained gynecologic oncologists, aiming for complete tumor removal while preserving quality of life. Advanced surgical techniques include minimally invasive approaches, robotic-assisted procedures, and complex debulking surgeries with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for eligible patients. Our team specializes in fertility-preserving surgeries for younger women when oncologically appropriate.
Chemotherapy protocols utilize platinum-based regimens with targeted agents like bevacizumab and PARP inhibitors for patients with specific genetic profiles. Immunotherapy treatments are available for mismatch repair-deficient tumors. Our medical oncologists collaborate closely with genetic counselors, providing comprehensive hereditary cancer risk assessment and family planning guidance. Patient safety protocols include pre-operative optimization, advanced monitoring systems, and evidence-based supportive care measures to minimize treatment-related complications and enhance recovery outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Symptoms include persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency), fatigue, back pain, and changes in bowel habits. These symptoms often occur daily and represent a change from normal. Early detection is challenging because symptoms can be subtle and similar to common conditions.
Diagnosis involves pelvic examination, blood tests including CA-125 tumor marker, transvaginal ultrasound, CT or MRI scans, and sometimes tissue biopsy. Our team uses advanced imaging and laboratory tests to determine cancer stage and develop appropriate treatment plans. Genetic testing may be recommended based on family history.
Treatment typically includes surgery to remove as much cancer as possible, followed by chemotherapy. Options include traditional open surgery, minimally invasive approaches, and heated chemotherapy delivery (HIPEC) for appropriate candidates. Targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors may be recommended based on genetic testing results.
Fertility preservation options depend on cancer stage, age, and treatment plan. We offer fertility counseling and coordinate with reproductive specialists for egg or embryo freezing before treatment when appropriate. Some younger patients may be candidates for fertility-sparing surgical approaches.
Genetic counseling services provide comprehensive family history assessment, genetic testing coordination, and screening recommendations for family members. We offer support for patients with BRCA mutations or other hereditary cancer syndromes, including prophylactic surgery discussions and enhanced screening protocols.
Follow-up schedules depend on treatment response and individual risk factors. Initially, appointments occur every few months with blood tests and imaging studies to monitor for recurrence. Long-term surveillance continues with gradually extended intervals to ensure continued health and early detection of any cancer recurrence.
